I always enjoy th SOTD razor pron but I have to say that everyone that posted pics this week has done a great job and displayed great gear! Thanks to all!

Prep: Hot shower
Strop Tony Miller 2 1/2 Latigo/Horsehide
SC: cstewart's Orange Spice sample shave cream. GREAT STUFF!!
Blade: Henckles
AS:Royal Spyce (CarrieM's choice)

I think I am going to pause on the Henckles and start the Boker 7 day set tomorrow if I finish honing the last one. Two more non Friodur Henckles left in the rotation, obviously not a seven day rotation.

Today was my first shave without cuts and without cleanup w/ (gasp) mach3.
gomez razor (ebay special) I honed best I could....
will be sending it out for a pro sharpening its not quite sharp yet
boar brush
C.O. Bigelow cream....much better than Wiliams puck
finished w/ Clubman Bay Rum

My wife still thinks this is the craziest idea I have had. But I am loving it.

Thanks too all who have posted, I have learned alot.
